My first PC game was the original Half Life. I was blown away by the game, whenever I go back to it it always takes me back,

So what was your first PC game? ( Just curious!:D)

I started playing PC games on a 286 with 2MB of RAM, lol.. I can't remember the name of the combat flight sim that I played first, but it must've been made in the early 80's...

Diablo 1 and Command Conquer Tiberium Dawn (or whichever the first one was with the doctor on a GDI mission that went "Yes yes yes" everytime you issued him an order)

The first PC game I played was called Power Pete. It came free on the new Mac computer we got for Christmas '95 or '96.

The first PC game I bought was Warcraft: Orcs and Humans for $9 at a garage sale.

Until I could afford my own PC, my PC gaming was off and on based on whenever my parents would upgrade the family computer. I'm grateful now to be on my own and able afford my own gaming PC. I can stay up to date and not be forced to take breaks from PC gaming.

My first matches were either Starcraft or the UT/Q3A demos, but my first buy was Sacrifice, maybe the last really outstanding game from Shiny.

Duck Tales: The Quest for Gold.

Me and my brother fought over this game on our newly bought COLOR monitor. I still remember upgrading our computer with 4 MBs of RAM to support Doom (might have been Doom 2) a couple of years later. And having to change to the D: drive to support the CD Rom games when they started coming out.

Does Ski Free count?

Anyways, my first REAL game was Toy Story 2 on PC in 1999. It kind of got me into PC gaming and was significantly better then the N64 version, and I ended up PC gaming quite a bit in the early 00's. Playing Star Wars: Jedi Knight, Half-Life, Far Cry and a bunch of indie games on some disc I had.

I wasn't a super hardcore PC gamer, mainly stuck to PS2, but I did subscribe to PC Gamer and recently got back into PC gaming.

The first Lego Racers game, if I recall correctly. The Lego Racers games are actually surprisingly good quality, if you're into that sort of thing.

I vaguely remember playing something terrible on a C64 when I was little. And when I was 10 or 12 I used to play Commander Keen occasionally on my dads work PC. But my first real PC game was Wing Commander Prophecy in 1998 and shortly followed by the original Half-Life.

My very first PC game was either Fallout or Planescape: Torment... they've kind of blurred together into one single memory of amazing RPG heavenliness. :)

On AtariST it would of been centipede. Then when I owned a PC I believe the first game I "attempted" to boot up was Doom2 on a 486sx, but I believe I only had 2mb of RAM and you needed 4mb to get playable framerates. So it was basically a slideshow @ 5FPS :lol:.

I am going to assume we are leaving Commodore out, so my first PC game was Starcraft. Half Life was number 2. And it's only number 2 because I opened Starcraft first.

The first one I was exposed to was Wolfenstein 3D. I watched my Dad play it as a kid, but I guess the first one that I personally played was Age of Empires 1, I think.

Not sure what the first was. Here's a couple of the first ones: Ancient Art of War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ancient_Art_of_War) Load Runner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lode_Runner) Star Flight (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starflight) Kings Quest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King%27s_Quest:_Quest_for_the_Crown)

First PC game I ever played.. I have no clue, we'd go to my grandmothers in France for Christmas most years, and there was this weird game.. I think you were a spaceman in like.. the stone age? It was 3d models, but on a side scroll I think, but maybe it was fully 3d.. I don't know, all I remember is it was epic.

My first PC came with a lot of games like Falcon, Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego, some stunt/racing game.. etc... The first one that I actually played with some focus was Prince of Persia.
